6.Garfield Stuffed Animals

Why you totally wanted this: It's easy to forget, but Garfield was actually really cool in the '80s. Not only did he have his comic, but he also had a series of specials and his own Saturday morning cartoon, Garfield & Friends. Plus, you probably saw the Garfield stuffed animal suction cup window cling hanging inside someone's car anytime you went anywhere.

16.Big Wheel

17.View-Master

Why you totally wanted this: Somehow you always managed to lose a pair of these throughout the year — usually left behind at at your grandma's or on some random road-trip location — so asking for another one at Christmas was a necessity.

23.Smurf Figures

Why you totally wanted this: There were endless amount of figures to collect, plus they were miniature, which meant you could slip a few in your pocket to play with when you were out somewhere with your parents.

31.Fisher-Price 1-2-3 Roller Skates

32.Jem and the Holograms Dolls

Why you totally wanted this: Well, if you couldn’t actually BE Jem, at least you could pretend to be her through this doll. PLUS, she came with the a cassette tape with songs from the TV show — perfect for you to sing along to!

34.Big Poppa Popcorn Maker

Why you totally wanted this: OK, OK, so this is not a toy. But be honest — you wanted one badly to make movie nights even better (luxe, really). And you were probably jealous of your friend whose family owned one.

35.Nintendo

Why you totally wanted this: In the '80s, this was the gold standard when it came to gifts you could get for Christmas! The only downside was you did actually have to share it with your brothers and/or sisters. 😡
